EIGHT policemen, including a woman, were arrested on suspicion of drug abuse at an entertainment centre on Jalan Raja Chulan early this morning.

All eight were among the 47 detained in a raid at the premises at 1am, which also nabbed a military man and a magistrate.

Urine test results also found that the army personnel was positive for drugs while the magistrate was found to be negative.

PDRM Integrity and Standards Compliance Department director Zamri Yahya said inspections at the first-floor entertainment premises at Wisma MPL also led to the discovery of a transparent package believed to contain drugs.

He said police also arrested 11 other cops who were having fun at the entertainment centre.

“In addition to existing suits for drug abuse, 19 members will be charged with disciplinary action.

“This follows the instruction of the inspector-general of police, who had banned all police personnel from visiting entertainment centres,” he said when contacted by Bernama.

All of the cops, aged between 20 and 30 were remanded in custody for four days starting today.

The case is being investigated under Section 39 A (1) of the Dangerous Drugs Act, Section 12 (2) and Section 15 (1) of the same act. – Bernama, October 14, 2019.
